Game On—Balancing Cost and Performance
The convergence of applications in the graphics and consumer segment is bringing TV, social media, home entertainment, and gaming to end consumers through one piece of equipment. Micron offers one of the industry’s broadest portfolios of market-leading DRAM and nonvolatile memory devices to meet this very competitive segment’s demands for high-performance, cost-efficient memory solutions. We’ve got the memory you need for a broad range of designs, including digital TVs, Blu-ray Disc™ players, video game consoles, portable game systems, personal media players, PC graphics cards, media tablets, cameras, or printers.
Whether you need SDR or DDR2 to extend the life of an established consumer design or cutting-edge DDR3 or LPDRAM to enable mobile gaming applications to push the performance envelope in a new product, our broad DRAM portfolio fits the bill.
We offer one of the world’s largest selections of serial (SPI) and parallel NOR Flash densities, packages, and options—purpose-built to meet the design requirements of consumer products.
Our diverse portfolio of high-density discrete MLC and SLC NAND devices provides distinct features, functionality, and performance to match the specific requirements of consumer and graphics applications for a better cost-per-bit.
Our e•MMC devices help make technology transitions nearly seamless by handling media management and ECC internally.
Whether you’re trying to minimize power consumption, free up board space, increase speed, or do everything at once, our NAND/NOR + DDRx/LPDRAM MCPs can drive your design.
